A good video clip to demonstrate the homily.

However, we spoke in normal voices in the Army library/archive that I ran for 14 years and did NOT allow patrons to eat or drink, thus no need for these type of arguments. (smile)

He’s not Jesus by a long shot, but this is exactly what modern day Pharisees are trying to do to Trump - get him on some piddly presumed offense while the more important things are ignored.

Nuclear weapons? Syria? NATO burden sharing? North Korea missiles?
Nah! It’s Russian meddling.

Guidelines for caucus, ecumenical, prayer and open threads on the Religion Forum

This is a Catholic Caucus thread!

Another example, I think, is when people are willing to believe that God created the universe, but hold that Jesus’ miracles would be beyond Him.

As this article mentions both Pharisees and Herodians....both different belief systems.....I am not sure how this qualifies as a Caucus thread.

If you are a powerful nation you meddle, it’s what you do.

We do it, Britain does it, Germany does it, China does it, Russia does it.

Micah 6:6-8 “With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

It’s a good article.

But NO ONE should have to read through a thread to find out if it’s caucused or not.

If it’s not in the title for all to see, it’s open.

No retroactive claims of caucus should be valid.

If you forgot, you forgot. Life happens.

I take that back.

It’s not a good article.

It’s an EXCELLENT article.

This is a good example of what we’re getting at on the other thread.

From the Religion Moderator’s page.

Religion Forum threads labeled “Caucus”

Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not currently and actively a member of the caucus group.

For instance, if it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not currently, actively Catholic, then do not post to the thread.
However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread.
The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.
There is little to no tolerance for non-members of a caucus coming onto the caucus thread to challenge whether or not it should be a caucus. Gross disruption usually follows.
If you question whether the article is appropriate for a caucus designation, send me a Freepmail. I’ll get to it as soon as I can.

This is not labeled Caucus in the title.

The article notes two other religious groups.....the Pharisees and Herodians. Neither of those are Roman Catholic.

Those are not current religious groups as listed in the topics. I believe a mistake was made.

I don't find anything on the RM's page about groups having to be "current".

Nor does it say anything that they might be ancient forerunners of Christianity.

The Pharisees are a different religious group that are not Roman Catholic. The mention of them violates the Caucus rules.
